Trina COLE Obituary

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Trina Michelle Cole (née Signal) - a funny, kind, strong, brave and deeply loving wife, daughter, sister, sister-in-law, aunt and friend to many. Born to her loving parents Ailsa and Peter Signal, Treen grew up sharing a close bond with her beautiful twin Kirsty and older sister Leigh. She married Brendon Cole, building a life defined by companionship, their hard work, deep love and mutual respect. Treen was also a cherished sister in law to Mark and Mathew, much loved Aunty Beans to Molly, Fliss, Emma, and Sammy, and treasured member of the Cole family. Her farm was her sanctuary, a place where she felt most herself, surrounded by the dogs she loved and adored. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness. Though she was taken too soon, the love she gave continues to shine in every person and place she touched. Trina will be dearly missed, lovingly remembered, and held forever in the hearts of those blessed to have known her. Friends are invited to attend a memorial service for Treen at Orlando Country Estate, 748 Rangitikei Line, Palmerston North, on Saturday 3rd January 2026 at 2pm. The service will also be livestreamed. To bring Treen and Bren together forevermore, their ashes will be scattered together in a private family ceremony over the land they loved.

Sending much love and condolences to Trina's family so so sorry to you all. I first met Trina busy preserving fruit at home in Ruatiti a few years back now. She and cousin Brendon welcomed my uncle Maurice me and my husband with afternoon tea, and then showed us around their place. Being born down the valley it was a down memory lane day. Trina was a beautiful cousin in law. Thank you for the memories Trina.
